Curtismen Outscore Monroeville Netters By 30-12 Decisiol

DECATUR OPENS CONTEST WITH FAST OFFENSE Monroeville Fails To Threaten Seriously In Net Argument Decatur high school Yellow Jackets, ruffled slightly from a one-point defeat at Auburn last Wednesday, strutted all their stuff last night at Decatur high school gymnasium and buried Monroeville high school basketball team under an avalanche of points to the tune of 30-12. The score could have been worse hut Coach Curtis sent in the word tu “cool off" in the closing quarter of the game. Monroeville, boasting its greatest net team was completely outplayed and outclassed from the very start. Never did the visitors get a chance to release their muchly spoken of offensive. Ball. Monroeville center, was outstanding for the Allen county quin(pt, bat he was never dangerously outstanding because Gay and Hill were on him every minute of the game. The first quarter started out with a, lot of drive on the part of the Curtismen and that drive continued td crop out throughout the game.! The Jackets would work the ball; down the floor and suddenly three ’ men would break for the basket and the Monroeville defense would shake and shivver. After 16 minutes of play. Deca-1 fur held a 17-6 advantage and the ' second half was a repetition of the doings of the first 16 minutes except Gay was removed on four persunals and Coach Curtis sent Biythe. Strickler. Saunders and Cowan into the fray. The Yellow Jackets looked like a 100 per cent, improvement over their first encounter some weeks ago with Jefferson and both the offense and defense slid around the floor like pure Pennsylvania oil. Bruff Cleary, Fort Wayne and Gunnar Elliott, Fort Wayne, too. ez Price and Quality —are so inherently interwoven that both suffer when either is cut too deeply. W. H.

CARNERA WINS BY KNOCKOUT New York. Nov. 28.—(U.R) —The oft-exploded Primo Camera “super man" myth was revived today, with the Italian giant boasting the “world's dreadnaught championship" as proof of his prowess. Primo gained his title through a two-round knockout of Victorio Ca m polo. 224-pound Argentine gaucho. in a scheduled 15-round bout at Madison Square Garden last night before 13,000 spectators. The "dreadnaught" competition! is limited to the half-dozen ring men more than 6 feet 3 inches in I height and scaling more than 220- I I pounds. Camera’s knockout of Campolo I showed the big Italian to better advantage than his few previous | honest bounds, but did not impress i i capable boxing judges. It proved! I that Primo is the master of Cam- [ polo, once touted as a certain future heavyweight champion, and | | gave new proof of Camera’s stamina and courage, but did nothing Ito remove doubts regarding his patching power and skill. Campolo started with a rush and ' (carried the fight to Primo throughlout the first round. The two Giants I slugged away like a pair of ambiti ious amateurs an dthe first round i was a real donnybrook. Campy had [ a clear advantage and had Primo ’ I hanging on and looking to his com- j I er for advice. As the round neared lhe end j Campolo started to tire from his I efforts and Primo took the upper hand. Gaining confidence as his opponent weakened. Primo forced the action in the second and after less than a minute’s fighting he floored Cam polo with a hard left to the body an da right to the chin. Campolo was up on the nine I count, but went down again from I a push to the shoulder. During his 'lO seconds on the floor. Campolo evidently decided that he had no opportunity to win, and although ' capable of arising he made no attempt to do so. He had taken considerable punishment, was badly . winded and had found that his best blows had little effect on I Camera. The spectators booed (*ampolo for “retiring" when he could have I continued, but although the action ; was not courageous, it appeared sensible. i — 0 l

D/isksbswl d h. • *jv. The Yellow Jackets showed a biz crowd at D. H. S. Gym last night | that an occasional beating was 'good for a basketball team. They' I came back strong and trimmed Monroeville 30-12, in easy fashion. The only time the Decatur team looked bad was when the guards would shift under the Monroeville basket. Bob Gay was removed from the game on fouls—all four being called ■ on the Yellow Jacket center while he was guarding his man on the pivot play. There was a great variety of opinion among the fans, as I to whether Bob actually committed fouls. Basketbawls is of the opinion that every attempt which was called foul, was clean—-Gunnar Elliott couldn't see it that way howeve-, but our bet is that most officials will permit the close guarding under the basket. Girlitis—an ailment among high school athletes which causes them to become dopey on the fairer sex, seems to have a severe hold on one of the Yellow Jacket netmen—Feazel played a brilliant game last night and was in the thickest part of the scrap—Hill time and again used his head to save the Mon oeville offense from getting started. Ogg and Buffenbarger did some great work at forward—and Gay played a good game at center, in spite of the fact that Mr. Elliott fouled him out of the game early in the second half. Blythe, Cowan, Saunders and Strickler who came in during the second half showed the crowd they are ready to fill in any time. The new Curtis fast break for the basket worked fine last night — three men w*ould sneak at once and a Philadelphia lawyer couldn’t tell who had the ball. , Ball, Monroeville center was outi standing for the losers — He’s a big

Purdue plays Northwestern at Chicago with nothing to lose and everything to win—The Boilermakers are going to meet Northwestern at a crucial moment —and anything might happen. Notre Dame plays Army at New York—Ben Tenni in the Fort Wayne News Sentinel expressed a lot of football sentiment the other day when he said, “Notre Dame's next winning streak will start Saturday when the Irish meet the Army.” Today will be the last big football Saturday until 1932—About the i only teams in the country with games still remaining are along the I I west coast. I The Yellow Jackets don’t have another home game until late in December—Winamac, Mishawaka, Delphi and North Side will be met on foreign coi rts before the Curtismen show their stuff back home.
